Readers of Delmorpha.com…..welcome.

It is a period of civil war in the Horse establishment. I was talking to a friend of mine just recently, amongst other company, and we somehow got onto the topic (no pun intended) of chocolate bars and confectionary as a whole.

Why did they change “marathon” to “snickers”?

Why did “opal fruits” become “starburst”?

Why did they change the light, fluffy centre of a milky way from dark brown to white??

The mood suddenly shifted as t’other half chirped up politely “What the fuck are you talking about? Milky ways have always been white in the middle…”

…..”Excuse me, precious….BOLLOCKS! I specifically remember that, some time around the late 1980s / early 1990s, milky ways had a revamp. The wrapper changed from dark/navy blue with gold stars and a large ‘milky way’ logo to a white and blue one and the malty brown chocolate flavour whipped nougat centre became the same texture but white!”

As I said this, 3 of my boys sat with us nodded in agreement with mutterings of “true…true” while the women stared at me like i’d put some beastie boys on a ghetto blaster, turned my cap to the side (i don’t wear a cap, i’m 25, and just using it to set the scene), spun round on my head a few times then jumped up, body popped, stepped back and pointed at the lady with a “HUH!” awaiting her bust-a-move. It was filth.

Her reply was “You don’t know what you’re talking about. Milky ways have always been white. You must be thinking of the dark chocolate mars bars they brought out”…the group of girls all broke in to head jerking and clicks of the fingers like some shit of Ricki Lake…you go girl.

I didn’t shed a tear. Instead I just asked her to wait til we get home then I can look it up on google or some shit then prove her wrong….with a smirk.

Lo and Behold! There is absolutely no infomation on the web regarding the internal change of the milky way in Britain…..which leaves me fuming that I can’t prove her wrong and she’s giving it “well you must have been wrong then…” Girl Power!

Please, people, I ask of your help in my hour of need. You, like George Bush, now have the power to stop a war. Please use it.

If anyone remembers the brown centred milky ways and/or the changeover to white then please, please let me know and we will increase in numbers together. Even better, if anyone can find any information on the web to prove me right then please send a link.

The outcome is in your hands!

Til next time, soldier,
